asked on
ASP.Net MVC IActionResult question
How do I make this an async action result if I am using auto mapper.
public async Task<IActionResult> Index()
{
var items = _context.Customers.ToListA
var mappedItems = _mapper.Map<List<CustomerV
return View(mappedItems);
}
The issue is from the context I can use ToListAsync but I can't use the await such as return View(await mappedItems);. What is the best way to handle this when using automapper?

But if I do that then the action result needs to not be async at that point so that was my concern. I tried that and that did work on the list but the action result then needed to be a regular sync which did not make sense to me.

Basically, await a task wherever you absolutely cannot continue further without the value that the task holds. It doesn't necessarily need to happen on the same line as the async call itself, but in your case it does need to because your mapping code is dependent on that value.
